It’s almost 9 months since I launched This is Lifeblood into the world and with a new year approaching, a decision to stay put in Perth (for now) and more creative space (mentally and physically) in my life, I’ve felt a big (and exciting!) shift in the direction the blog is taking.

More me. Way more me. Way more Claire-ish.

I’m going to let the video do the talking though (quite literally!) but I would freakin’ LOVE some feedback in the comments, so have a watch and let me know your thoughts!

And plus – I AM exploring a new city this year, so time for me to share more of Perth with you! And Melbourne (because I’m back and forth quite a bit) and country NSW (because that’s my real home!) too.

So tell me, where in your life can you show up more as YOU? In your relationships? At work? On your own blog? Holla at me yo!

Awww. Such a gorgeous girl. LOVE the buttons in your sidebar – I have art envy ! You are definitely doing the right thing by sharing your creative skills. I will be following this side of your blog very closely ! XO

Thanks for replying. It makes fun.No need to be afraid though. I too think that rewards should be deserved, that the world should be fair and that claims should be supported.If it belatedly emerges that the shortest day is December 21st, and everybody wants to celebrate then, who is going to infringe your exclusive right to celebrate on Dec 22? As far as I can see, excluding Art 84 EPC from the grounds of invalidity hasn't hurt anybody yet. What's that expression I need here, something like "No hurt, no foul"?

Oh what a lovely video! I can’t wait to see what you do! The creative element is something I’ve just started to get back into this year – through writing on my blog, and tentative steps into drawing, which I loved as a kid but haven’t done in years. All of the things you suggested sounded awesome! I’m sure it’s going to be beautiful!

I think a lot of us forget to tend to our creative sides after we leave school… It’s fabulous to explore! And yes, although I haven’t had the paints out this year I have certainly been writing! So many fun avenues to explore!

Hi Claire, I have just come across your blog and just want to say how much I am loving all your blog posts and video’s. I’m very excited to see all of the insights you will bring into nourish, explore and create – love the concept! You mentioned about the pdf’s and resources in your video and it would be great to find out more. I have only just started up my blog, so I would love to find out some cool tips/tricks on making it funky with design and creative touches. Thanks again 🙂

First off, Claire thank you for giving me the strength and hope to turn my life around. You couldn’t have entered my life at a more perfect time. I love the atmosphere of your entire blog.. Its safe to say that i’m addicted. I’ve begun eating better and meditating every day. I’ve also picked up yoga, which i’m currently and forever obsessed with!
Just a small reminder to you that WE all love you just as much.. You give us all hope in this chaotic world. Thank you Claire!

Hi Claire,
I’m loving your work! Thanks for being such a beautiful inspiration! I too am studying at IIN and starting a blog in the new year. You’ve really inspired me with your authenticity, honesty and gorgeous spirit. Looking forward to seeing more on the creative front. Loving all the ideas you talk about especially online stuff……xxx

I am moving from Melbourne to Perth in Feb 14 and was wondering if you have any suggestions for good quality cafes that offer gluten free, vegetarian, vegan and raw food options? Coming from melbs I am obviously used to all of the trendy cafes and abundance of food options and exceptionally good coffee scene. Also, do you know of any farmers markets or organic stores that i can get all of my usual super foods from? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated 🙂 Thanks Claire. X
